CJP Teases Big Announcement on National Student Movement's Future
A group called the Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP for short, has been helping students protest about exam papers leaking.
The group says its campaign, which included a protest at Jantar Mantar, was a victory.
Now it wants to keep helping students across India.
CJP says it will make a big announcement on Thursday about what it plans to do next.
Before that, its leaders met for two days in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra to make plans.
They read thousands of ideas sent in by people who support the group.
CJP says it will not become a political party.
Instead, it wants to be a big national group that pushes for better education and fair exams.
It also wants to help student groups in different states and spread awareness.
The leaders say this is just the beginning and that the movement will reach every corner of the country.
CJP chief spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said the organisation will make a 'big announcement' on Thursday about the movement's next phase.
The announcement follows a two-day strategy meeting in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, where leaders reviewed thousands of supporter suggestions.
CJP leaders say the organisation intends to evolve into a national pressure group focused on education reforms rather than a political party.
Founder Abhijeet Dipke has said there is no proposal to enter electoral politics, with the focus on grassroots awakening and public awareness.
Plans include expanding across India, building networks of student groups, and supporting education-related agitations in different states.
